Hipsters will kill us all!!!

I giggled.

Is "hipster" a more specific classification than "emo"? What are those?

This movie was made 42 years ago All the hipsters in it don't dance, dress like assholes, and listen to a white rock band* play a song w/a riff stolen from another song that came out ten years before that, which itself was stolen from a black blues song**. And this was in the 1960's, when everything everyone under 30 did supposedly had some kind of counter-cultural meaning. Antonioni clearly hates this mentality, only he was original when he hated it. God, can't you people come up with anything original . But seriously, though, the kind of person described in that article existed well before the 21st century, and sucked just as much back then. And I would know; I've been accused of the "H" word many, many times in my life ...



*The Yardbirds

**"Train Kept A-Rollin' " by Tiny Bradshaw, later recorded by Johnny Burnette & The Rock and Roll Trio; this song even has the word "hipster" in the lyrics

every subculture ever invented is called the end of the fucking world, and no fashion or form of music has ever been created from nothing.

I thought a "hipster" was just a person that thought they were cool.
Because they have Prius a Macbook Air and iPhone 3G?

Also somebody that shops at Banana Republic and raves about Juno.

Beatniks are way cooler, man.

Wow, the Friends of Tom are super prescient! We already knew hipsters would be responsible for the demise of the world. Witness.

And the tapas they could have been eating...

check aaannnnd mate.

i've said this before elsewhere, but the folks at adbusters should take a good long look in the mirror -- the truest sign of hipsterdom is is talking shit about everything, especially other hipsters.

you got your boots on daddyo

Didn't the dandies from the 1880s-1920s already kill global culture? Did I miss another memo?

Emo kids are teenagers. When they graduate high school and go to college, they realize the emo trend is too "corporate". They sell their Hot Topic gear, buy suspenders and become hipsters.

Now, I've got to go kill myself now for paying too close attention to scenes.

^^ That is a perfect description on a hipster... Ugghh I hate them. But I love hottopic

You're from the same state I am . . . where are these hipsters you're paying attention to?

"She was a hipster/and a real gone girl/she was pretty/from New York City/ And we trucked on down, that old highway/with a heave, and a hoe/and I just couldn't let her go"

One of my favorite Johnny Burnette songs; didn't realize Tiny Bradshaw had been the first to record it. I'll have to check it out.

And, on other news; yah, these type of people have ALWAYS been around. I personally wonder how the author of the first piece could even think that they are a modern trend. I mean, its not like they haven't always been prominent.

awww hell tha fuck naw

hey, i'm not in denial. these skinny jeans didn't put themselves on this morning

side note: i really want to get a "hipsters unite" shirt now.

But will you wear it ironically? Is it possible to wear it ironically?

that sounds more like the hipsters I'm familiar with. I'd also add "geek chic" and tattoos.

No, it isn't.

i'm pretty sure it'd create a black hole either way.
